    My 1400w Hazer Machine, The power cord heats up !

    Hi Guys !I found a cable of 10 Mtrs that is locally available with this guage advertised "Thicker 13/40 x 3 Wire gauge construction provides maximum power handling capability, for larger devices".Will this suffice ?

    I don't know if the "FAZER" was a joke or if it really exists, or maybe you sarcastically meant fake hazer. Anyway mine isn't an oil based machine. Its a water based haze machine. I will try to get a better cord when i come across one. But the 6-8 hour test at home didnt even yield a slight...

    My 1400w Hazer Machine, The power cord heats up !

    Sorry guys that i couldn't reply earlier. There are no marked/calibrated cables that im able to find, despite deep google digging. There are a very few from non responsive factories or exporters who don't reply etc, understandably because they are into mainstream or bulk maybe.I just...

    Great ! Any suggestions how long to run a hazer ? Would even 1 hour during the show do or just leave it on for the whole show duration with the largest idle gaps set on the remote ?How do you guys do it ? When do you start it and shut down your hazers for a show of this size ?

    OK so the hazer is a continuous load. And would running it 2 hours be considered as long term ? Can i run this 1500w hazer on a 15a socket of 240v for 2 hrs continuous ? My stages are all about 1000sqft approx. I intend to run the hazer starting half hour before the show (show duration 90 mins)...

    Hi John,The hazer is rated at 240v only.Can you explain what you mean by short/long term load ? Some approximate durations you could name ?And as i already mentioned the cable has no marking of gauge.

    Just to understand socket ratings, if a socket is rated 5 amps and the voltage on it is 240v, then it can support a device that draws upto 1200w right ? And 15 amps @ 240v can support a device or devices drawing a total of upto 3600w ?For example my led pars which are 54x3w = 162w. Lets say...

    Hey Mike,Quite possible, but i didn't have a chance to check the terminals at the outlet or if the terminal was warm because it was at a venue and this was just a little while before the show is supposed to start so i was under a lot of pressure.

    Hi Ed,The cable im using doesnt have any rating printed on it. But in my country these cables etc hardly ever come rated with power specs. They are mostly cheap no name brands.

    My 1400w Hazer Machine, The power cord heats up !

    Hi,I have a 1500w Hazer and noticed during a show that the wire turned extremely hot. But after that it hasn't occurred when it runs on my home socket. I do remember using some varied brand of power cable that connects the unit to the power socket during that show. Maybe the power cable would...

    LED pars as foot lighting for front lighting a stage ?

    Hi, Its mostly a 25' wide and 15-20' deep stage. No runways/ramps. Any particular colors to adhere to ? Or its all just a question of taste ?

    LED pars as foot lighting for front lighting a stage ?

    Thanks Sean.Any particular colors that would be good to use from the back-lighting leds ? I mean any specific kind of colors to use for the rim lighting.Will 4 of these 54x3w led (tricolor diodes) fixtures suffice as back-lighting for a stage of the size Ive mentioned ?

    LED pars as foot lighting for front lighting a stage ?

    But generally will back lighting using 4 of my led pars help in the stage look but adding some depth to the stage ?The stages again are not large ones. Average is around 400 to 500 sqft in size.

    LED pars as foot lighting for front lighting a stage ?

    Unfortunately no crotch show LOL. Its just a corporate stand up styled guest speaker scenario show, with some entertainment imbibed. Same as what you would do for a stand up comedian except he has some draw boards on the stage that he would like to be well lit also. But not looking for...

    No problem at all. Nothing to apologize for. It did remind me at least to see the page. I had it saved as a pdf on my pc. You brought it to attention by pointing it out. And the looming shadow visual does focus on the fact of how ugly it can get.
